2. Expect that most visitors will be women.
3. Uncover only the necessary skin when assessing.
4. Breastfeeding will likely take place for two years.
Rationale:
Women are not in the company of men to whom they are not married whenever possible within the Muslin traditions. Modesty is very important to Muslims. Use the bed covers to drape the client while performing the postpartum assessment. Breastfeeding that will take place for two years comes from the Koran. A kosher diet is appropriate for Jewish women, not Muslims. Although many of the dietary laws are similar, kosher is not appropriate for a Muslim client. Because of modesty and the restrictions against touching and being touched by males who are not the spouse, most Muslim women highly prefer female health care providers.
